I've learned that friendship does not equate business, business does not equate friendship.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A friendship founded on business is better than a business founded on friendship.
Business, you know, may bring you money, but friendship hardly ever does.
The rules of friendship are tacit, unconscious; they are not rational. In business, though, you have to think rationally.
Friendship is essentially a partnership.
All things being equal, people will do business with a friend; all things being unequal, people will still do business with a friend.
Friendship is something that creates equality and mutuality, not a reward for finding equality or a way of intensifying existing mutuality.
Friendship is like money, easier made than kept.
Friendship is a disinterested commerce between equals; love, an abject intercourse between tyrants and slaves.
Friendships are discovered rather than made.
All lasting business is built on friendship.
